Infowarrior considers him to be neither. He was an outright fraud. "Champion of the working person" my left butt cheek!
He not only stiffed his wife's maid for every penny she ever earned, no, not satified with that he forced himself on her sexually, impregnating her, then had the audacity to claim the resultant child was the child of Friedrich Engels, and not his.
